timely rescue one hundred and fifty passengers of the city of racine of the goodrich line in danger of being drowned in the waters of lake michigan were yesterday rescued through the use of wireless telegraphy with the wheel broken nnd the steamer with its load of human freight lying help less the c j d signal the second to be flashed over the great lakes in twenty four hours was sent broadcast the signal was heard by the steamers Chicago and christopher columbus and their instant response quelled a panic among the passengers many of whom had been thrown to the decks by the shock fol lowing the snapping of the wheel the accident occurred when the steamer was about twenty-flve miles out of chlcugo bound for milwaukee at the time many of the passengers mostly women were on thc upper decks and a number of them had narrow escapes from being thrown overboard the steamer Chicago was lying ln the Chicago harbor when the c q d signal was flashed she was instantly sent to the scene the christopher columbus chicago-bound had left milwaukee a few hours before help arrives quickly the chlcngo reached the disabled steamer an hour after the flrst eign of distress was given running alongside the disabled boat she took off the passengers the waters of the lake iwere as smooth as glass and the tranesfer was made with little difficulty the crew of the city of racine remained on board and the steamer was towed in to the Chicago dock by the christopher columbus which arrived on the scene a few minutes after the rescue had been effected while there was no great danger said captain john avllson of the disabled boat it was with difficulty that a panic was averted among the passengers the prompt response to the distress signal however quieted their fears and we had little trouble after being assured that assistance was close at hand captain charles e moody of the christo pher lolunjbus witnessed the transfer of the passengers to the steamer Chicago from a distance of three miles owing to the calmness of the waters said he the transfer was made with little danger to the passengers the Chicago bad everybody on board and was under full steam for milwaukee when we came up we took the disabled boat in tow and brought her in passengers tell of rescue passengers on the christopher columbus were also witnesses of the rescue mrs j h stlgail of milwaukee said she could plainly see the women and children being conveyed across the plank which had been thrown out between the steamers it was a thrilling sight and one which i would not care to take part ln said she it made me shudder but 1 guess it looked worse than it really was at least the offi cers of the christopher columbus said so the passenger list of the crippled boat could not be secured last night no dupli cate is kept at the local offices of the goodrich company according to captain wilson no one was injured and beyond the shock suffered by some of the more timid the passengers are none the worse for their excitiug ex perience the c q d signal followed a simi lar one sent out early saturday morning hy the steamer city of south haven which broke her rudder off the carter harrison cri'b while making the maiden trip of the season this signal was received at the com pany's offices and at the office of the l'nited wireless company's station in the congress hotel and relief tugs seut to the scene captain praises wireless tbc efficiency of the wireless system and its value to traffic on the lakes could have no greater test than the one had to day said captain wilson we might havo been delayed for hours and serious results might have followed without it kroiu the time of the aecideut until the passeugers were on their way to milwau kee occupied little more than an hour the city of racine bas beeu placed iu dry dock for repairs officers of the ship are unable to account for the accident it came without warn ing and at a time wheu the steamer was going nt full speed it was due to the , speed being made by the steamer that serious accident was narrowly averted edison has battery to supplant horse wizard says he has mastered storage invention after years of toil tests are successful will solve traffic problems of the street car automobile and truck new york june 26.-"the storage battery is now an accomplished fact said thomas a edison to-night at orange n j to an examiner reporter mr ed ison was luxuriating in a big wicker chair on the broad veranda of his home in beautiful llewellyn park in the foot hills of the orange mountains there was in his manner every indication of pride in a great achievement for years he has been patiently hopefully doggedly working out the problem of the storage battery four years ago he thought he had solved it but he was too cautious to make positive announcement of victory then xow he has absolutely no doubt about it why he said as if surprised that everybody did not know of his victory i have had the storage battery completed for a month or two there has been uo exploitation of it though because i am not prepared to meet the rush of orders that already is coming in i shall give it the final test on the crosstown street car line here in west orange in the next few days and then the experimental stage will have been passed no doubt of success after we have had our last test here on the cross town line we shall begin to fill orders for the cross town and belt lines in new york he declared yes sir he declared 1 no longer have auy doubt of its practical utility as now constructed why macy's in new york equipped oue of its delivery wagons recently with a bat tery we uiade at our factory and the wagon ran around long island the entire day we can equip a truck with a battery that will carry it iu short time from new york to philadelphia if that doesn't dem onstrate its commercial value i don't kuow what could uur battery solves one of the growing problems in street traffic in new york and other big cities it will do away complete ly with the horse there in a little time means big saving of space then too the power of a team of truck horses will be doubled at least that fac tor depends of course upou the size of the battery that is installed the speed also will be more than doubled mr edison explained that the cells of his perfected battery vary in weight from thirteen and one-half to eighteen pounds a sixty-cell battery of eighteen pounds each is the kind tbat will cany a one-ton truck from new y'ork to philadelphia in less than a third of the time it would take a team of horses to haul the same load i expect soon to see every taxicab run by tho new storage battery he said au tomobiles too and other pleasure vehicles can be equipped with them i estimate that the life of a battery will not lie less than four years they will simply have to be recharged whenever their electric fluid has been exhausted this process is as simple and easy as pumping a bicycle or auto tire fell of air all that will have to be done is tie carry the pump along and hitch it to the nearest wire then pump away and iu â€ž jiffy your battery will be recharged and yon are ready to resume your journey tbc commercial valne of the gasolene motor will then disappear vehicles charged with the new battery will lie about as noiseless as it will be practicable to make any rapidly moving thing find clew in kenyon death woman's companion known woman witness in gingles case the circumstances of whose death are still a mystery man who fled after tragedy in roadhouse - sought by state's attorney ready for poison probe coroner says body will be disinterred to solve mys tery if necessary was mrs cecilia e ken yon murdered who was the mysterious man who ac companied her to scholl's roadhouse at 6830 jackson park avenue and who was the man who fled the moment that a physi cian pronounced her dead upon these two questions hangs the ex planation of one of the most mysterious tragedies Chicago police have had to deal with iu years and which is being investi gated by the coroner's office the police department and the state's attorney's office there are many unexplained features in conuectlon with mrs kenyon's death and some of the questions which are being asked are was mrs kenyon killed in order to stop her from telling any o the secrets of the gingles case mrs kenyon was one of the chief accusers agaiust ella gingles who asserted she was abducted . bound gagged and tortured in a room in the wellington hotel and that mrs kenyon was one of her abductors was the woman lured to the roaijhouse by a friend who drugged ber did mrs kenyon take a dose of poisou either by mistake or with suicidal intent why did the police take pains to hush up the tragedy and why did lieutenant lames mccann the officer in charge of the ir vestigation of the tragedy sit upon the corouer's jury which returned a verdict of heart failure why was the inquest closed without some of the most important witnesses being summoned to testify why was there uo effort made by the police or coroner to discover the identity of mrs kenyon's escort why did charles liphart proprietor of the undertaking establishment where mrs kenyon's body was taken serve on the coroner's jury and act as foreman police show apathy in case so far the police have discovered only slender clews and their work on the case has showed signs of strange apathy which may lead to another investigation before the death mystery is cleared away this much was discovered yesterday by captain john mcweeney of the woodlawn police the mau who took mrs kenyon to the roadhouse and who was drinking with her for half an bom preceding her death was a frequejnter â€¢ if the place and was well known to the maids and bartenders

telegraphy with the wheel broken nnd the steamer with its load of human freight lying help less the c j d signal the second to be flashed over the great lakes in twenty four hours was sent broadcast the signal was heard by the steamers Chicago and christopher columbus and their instant response quelled a panic among the passengers many of whom had been thrown to the decks by the shock fol lowing the snapping of the wheel the accident occurred when the steamer was about twenty-flve miles out of chlcugo bound for milwaukee at the time many of the passengers mostly women were on thc upper decks and a number of them had narrow escapes from being thrown overboard the steamer Chicago was lying ln the Chicago harbor when the c q d signal was flashed she was instantly sent to the scene the christopher columbus chicago-bound had left milwaukee a few hours before help arrives quickly the chlcngo reached the disabled steamer an hour after the flrst eign of distress was given running alongside the disabled boat she took off the passengers the waters of the lake iwere as smooth as glass and the tranesfer was made with little difficulty the crew of the city of racine remained on board and the steamer was towed in to the Chicago dock by the christopher columbus which arrived on the scene a few minutes after the rescue had been effected while there was no great danger said captain john avllson of the disabled boat it was with difficulty that a panic was averted among the passengers the prompt response to the distress signal however quieted their fears and we had little trouble after being assured that assistance was close at hand captain charles e moody of the christo pher lolunjbus witnessed the transfer of the passengers to the steamer Chicago from a distance of three miles owing to the calmness of the waters said he the transfer was made with little danger to the passengers the Chicago bad everybody on board and was under full steam for milwaukee when we came up we took the disabled boat in tow and brought her in passengers tell of rescue passengers on the christopher columbus were also witnesses of the rescue mrs j h stlgail of milwaukee said she could plainly see the women and children being conveyed across the plank which had been thrown out between the steamers it was a thrilling sight and one which i would not care to take part ln said she it made me shudder but 1 guess it looked worse than it really was at least the offi cers of the christopher columbus said so the passenger list of the crippled boat could not be secured last night no dupli cate is kept at the local offices of the goodrich company according to captain wilson no one was injured and beyond the shock suffered by some of the more timid the passengers are none the worse for their excitiug ex perience the c q d signal followed a simi lar one sent out early saturday morning hy the steamer city of south haven which broke her rudder off the carter harrison cri'b while making the maiden trip of the season this signal was received at the com pany's offices and at the office of the l'nited wireless company's station in the congress hotel and relief tugs seut to the scene captain praises wireless tbc efficiency of the wireless system and its value to traffic on the lakes could have no greater test than the one had to day said captain wilson we might havo been delayed for hours and serious results might have followed without it kroiu the time of the aecideut until the passeugers were on their way to milwau kee occupied little more than an hour the city of racine bas beeu placed iu dry dock for repairs officers of the ship are unable to account for the accident it came without warn ing and at a time wheu the steamer was going nt full speed it was due to the , speed being made by the steamer that serious accident was narrowly averted edison has battery to supplant horse wizard says he has mastered storage invention after years of toil tests are successful will solve traffic problems of the street car automobile and truck new york june 26.-"the storage battery is now an accomplished fact said thomas a edison to-night at orange n j to an examiner reporter mr ed ison was luxuriating in a big wicker chair on the broad veranda of his home in beautiful llewellyn park in the foot hills of the orange mountains there was in his manner every indication of pride in a great achievement for years he has been patiently hopefully doggedly working out the problem of the storage battery four years ago he thought he had solved it but he was too cautious to make positive announcement of victory then xow he has absolutely no doubt about it why he said as if surprised that everybody did not know of his victory i have had the storage battery completed for a month or two there has been uo exploitation of it though because i am not prepared to meet the rush of orders that already is coming in i shall give it the final test on the crosstown street car line here in west orange in the next few days and then the experimental stage will have been passed no doubt of success after we have had our last test here on the cross town line we shall begin to fill orders for the cross town and belt lines in new york he declared yes sir he declared 1 no longer have auy doubt of its practical utility as now constructed why macy's in new york equipped oue of its delivery wagons recently with a bat tery we uiade at our factory and the wagon ran around long island the entire day we can equip a truck with a battery that will carry it iu short time from new york to philadelphia if that doesn't dem onstrate its commercial value i don't kuow what could uur battery solves one of the growing problems in street traffic in new york and other big cities it will do away complete ly with the horse there in a little time means big saving of space then too the power of a team of truck horses will be doubled at least that fac tor depends of course upou the size of the battery that is installed the speed also will be more than doubled mr edison explained that the cells of his perfected battery vary in weight from thirteen and one-half to eighteen pounds a sixty-cell battery of eighteen pounds each is the kind tbat will cany a one-ton truck from new y'ork to philadelphia in less than a third of the time it would take a team of horses to haul the same load i expect soon to see every taxicab run by tho new storage battery he said au tomobiles too and other pleasure vehicles can be equipped with them i estimate that the life of a battery will not lie less than four years they will simply have to be recharged whenever their electric fluid has been exhausted this process is as simple and easy as pumping a bicycle or auto tire fell of air all that will have to be done is tie carry the pump along and hitch it to the nearest wire then pump away and iu â€ž jiffy your battery will be recharged and yon are ready to resume your journey tbc commercial valne of the gasolene motor will then disappear vehicles charged with the new battery will lie about as noiseless as it will be practicable to make any rapidly moving thing find

witnesses being summoned to testify why was there uo effort made by the police or coroner to discover the identity of mrs kenyon's escort why did charles liphart proprietor of the undertaking establishment where mrs kenyon's body was taken serve on the coroner's jury and act as foreman police show apathy in case so far the police have discovered only slender clews and their work on the
